Formation of polymer micro-agglomerations in ultralow-binder-content composite based on lunar soil simulant

We report results from an experiment on high-pressure compaction of lunar soil simulant (LSS) mixed with 2–5?wt% polymer binder. The LSS grains can be strongly held together, forming an inorganic-organic monolith (IOM) with the flexural strength around 30–40?MPa. The compaction pressure, the number of loadings, the binder content, and the compaction duration are important factors. The LSS-based IOM remains strong from ?200?°C to 130?°C, and is quite gas permeable.     

Combining MHD and kinetic modelling of solar flares

Solar flares are explosive events in the solar corona, representing fast conversion of magnetic energy into thermal and kinetic energy, and hence radiation, due to magnetic reconnection. Modelling is essential for understanding and predicting these events. However, self-consistent modelling is extremely difficult due to the vast spatial and temporal scale separation between processes involving thermal plasma (normally considered using magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) approach) and non-thermal plasma (requiring a kinetic approach). In this mini-review we consider different approaches aimed at bridging the gap between fluid and kinetic modelling of solar flares. Two types of approaches are discussed: combined MHD/test-particle (MHDTP) models, which can be used for modelling the flaring corona with relatively small numbers of energetic particles, and hybrid fluid-kinetic methods, which can be used for modelling stronger events with higher numbers of energetic particles. Two specific examples are discussed in more detail: MHDTP models of magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration in kink-unstable twisted coronal loops, and a novel reduced-kinetic model of particle transport in converging magnetic fields.     

火箭上升段滚动时域制导控制一体化设计

针对传统火箭上升段制导与姿态控制系统分离设计无法最大程度优化控制精度、控制量需求等系统整体控制性能的问题，提出一种基于凸优化的滚动时域制导控制一体化(IGC)设计方法。首先建立反映质心运动和绕质心运动耦合关系的IGC模型并对其进行反馈线性化获得面向控制的线性模型。然后考虑控制约束，将上升段IGC问题建模为最优控制问题，基于凸优化理论设计滚动时域控制器。该方法基于滚动时域控制(RHC)策略中反馈校正和滚动优化的思想，可以及时弥补模型误差和外部干扰等造成的不确定性；同时利用凸优化算法计算复杂度低、求解简单的优势，有效解决了含控制约束的复杂优化问题的求解。基于李雅普诺夫稳定性理论证明了闭环系统的稳定性。数值仿真校验了该滚动时域控制方法的有效性和鲁棒性；并且仿真结果表明，火箭上升段IGC设计比传统分离设计制导精度更高、控制量需求更小且姿态变化更加平缓。     

一种面向在轨服务的空间遥操作人机交互方法

为了解决人在遥操作回路中,人与操作目标时空隔离、缺乏环境信息和天地回路大时延等实际问题,以及减少空间机器人缺乏自主智能性和操作者手抖颤等不利因素,针对空间在轨服务操作交互问题,提出一种基于增强虚拟安全通道(AVSC)的分层辅助遥操作(LAT)方法。首先,设计组合体增强虚拟安全通道,通过给主端操作者施加虚拟引导力辅助完成操作任务,与徒手操作相比,操作时间短、操作平稳;其次,设计分层辅助遥操作系统,通过获取空间机器人末端与期望轨迹上最近点之间的距离,在安全通道内划分不同的虚拟力场,辅助操作者更加灵活地操作。演示实验表明,该方法利用力触觉和视觉信息,引导操作者控制空间机器人末端运动至期望位置,可以有效地提高操作精度、减轻操作者心理压力和减少操作时间。     

Can an impulsive variation of the solar wind plasma pressure trigger a plasma bubble? A case study based on CSES,Swarm and THEMIS data

During the August 25, 2018 geomagnetic storm, the new borne CSES-01 satellite and the Swarm A satellite detected a really large equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) in the post-midnight sector over western Africa. We investigated the features of this deep ionospheric plasma depletion using data from the Langmuir probes on-board CSES-01 and Swarm A satellites, and data from the high-precision magnetometer and the electric field detector instruments on-board CSES-01. Using also plasma and magnetic field data from THEMIS-E satellite we found that, during the passage of the magnetic cloud that drove the geomagnetic storm, an impulsive variation lasting about ten minutes characterized the solar wind (SW) pressure. The analysis of the delay time, between the occurrence of such impulsive variation and the detection of the plasma bubble, suggests a possible link between the SW pressure impulsive variation as identified by THEMIS-E and the generation of the EPB as detected by CSES-01 and Swarm A. We put forward the hypothesis that the SW pressure impulsive variation might have triggered an eastward prompt penetrating electric field that propagated from high to equatorial latitudes, overlapping in the nightside region to the zonal westward electric field, causing either a reduction or an inversion, at the base of the EPB triggering.
